Resisting Temptation

Chapter 25

It felt good to be outside with the sun shining, enjoying the day with my friends, nothing could beat this after being locked up for almost two weeks. We didn't know where we were going, we just strolled around town until one of us wanted to do something.

Lucy, Megan and I walked behind as the guys took lead. We were chatting about everything and anything really and it felt like I'd known them a lot longer but I suppose you could say we all went through a similar situation which had brought us together.

Jake was purposely trying to distract me by showing off his muscles or flirting with me and then going off with the guys. He even went as far as feeling me up but leaving me hanging at the last moment. Damn him. Beings mates sucked because it instantly made my hormones ten times worse and his touch was like my drug.

Damn him.

"Let's get some ice cream." Megan said half way through talking about Lucy's school.

"Ice cream?" I asked pursing my lips. "It does sound good right now." I said agreeing.

"Where can we get some from?" Lucy asked looking around the street we were on.

"In all honestly, I don't really know." I said frowning a bit.

"Shall we ask the guys?" Megan asked and I shrugged. The three of them stopped and looked to side before looking back at us grinning.

"Bowling?" I asked as soon as we'd caught up with them.

"Why not?" Seth asked shrugging. I suck, that's why. I thought. "My chance to finally beat you."

"Afraid of a little competition?" Jake asked smirking with his arms crossed.

"Please don't make this into a boys vs girls game." Lucy said frowning at the sign, looked like she was thinking the same as I was.

A arm suddenly slid around my waist as Jake kissed my temple.

"I'll go easy on you." He whispered in my ear and I shoved him off me. Just when you think he's being sweet, boom.

"I'd rather you not." I scoffed making him grin.

"Then shall we?" He asked holding his hands towards the building. I rolled my eyes walking past him, hmm, maybe I could use this to my advantage.

"Girls vs boys?" I asked once we're at our lane. The girls looked at me with raised eyebrows but didn't get a chance to question.

"Bring it on." Ivan said grinning. "Team with the most points wins." He put our names into the screen as Lucy pulled me aside.

"What are you doing? I don't know about you but we suck." She said but I just smiled.

"Yes but there is something we can use to our advantage." I grinned and looked over at Megan. "We just have to distract them from their game." I smiled and then she broke out into a grin.

"Ohhhh, yay, sounds like fun." I laughed and Lucy shook her head.

"This will be an interesting game."

"Lucy which ball did you use?" I asked her walking over and standing next to the machine which brought the balls back up to us.

"The green one." She answered and I smiled thanking her. So far, our plan was definitely working. We were still losing but certainly by not as much as it would have been. It was Jake's turn which meant I was up for distracting him again.

"This one?" I asked bending over more then necessary to pick the ball up. I stayed there longer then I needed too just to make him squirm. Yeah, take that you tease! I heard wolf whistles from a group of guys on the next lane and I stood back up with a satisfied grin on my face.
